Lynch's Pick - Linda Dalianis

by: Jack Mitchell

Tue Nov 16, 2010 at 17:33:22 PM EST


(h/t Pindell)

From the State website:

Linda Stewart Dalianis is the first woman to hold a seat on the New Hampshire Supreme Court.  Prior to her appointment by Gov.  Jeanne Shaheen in the year 2000, Justice Dalianis had served for almost 20 years on the Superior Court bench, both as an associate justice and as Chief Justice. She is now the Senior Associate Justice on the Supreme Court.  

During her long career in the Judicial Branch, Justice Dalianis has been a member of numerous influential committees that shape the day-to-day work of the courts, the Supreme Court Rules and Legislation Committees, and the Superior Court
committees on guardians, marital master and alternative dispute resolution. She is also a longtime member of the New Hampshire Bar Association Committee on Cooperation with the Courts.

Justice Dalianis is chair of the "Family Division Implementation Committee" which was appointed by Chief Justice John T. Broderick Jr. to study the delivery of court services in family law cases, and also the chair of the "Judicial Branch Dispute Resolution Committee," which was appointed by Chief Justice Broderick to study system-wide development of alternative dispute resolution services.

She is a graduate of Northeastern University and Suffolk University Law School.

Jack Mitchell :: Lynch's Pick - Linda Dalianis
Pindell writes:
Gov. Lynch also announced that tomorrow he will nominate current Superior Court Chief Justice Robert Lynn for the vacant Associate Justice position on the Supreme Court.

"Judge Lynn has proven himself an outstanding and highly regarded judge with the ability to thoughtfully handle the most complex and challenging cases. That is why I believe he will be a strong addition to our state's highest court," Gov. Lynch said.

NH's first female Chief Justice (4.00 / 3)
In addition to being the first woman to hold a seat on the New Hampshire Supreme Court, Dalianis would be our first female Chief Justice.

And while she gets there on merit alone, as someone disappointed by the massive loss of female representation in the State House, this is a welcome bit of news.

Joe McQuaid's diminishing fan club (0.00 / 0)
And did anyone else notice how Joe McQuaid's tirade over Lynch moving forward with the business of governing has drawn more criticism than fanfare in the UL's own comments section?

It's actually rather fascinating, since comments on other articles are about the same as usual.

What does it MEAN? (4.00 / 1)
Every two years the media engages in a conversation about what "message" the elections sent, and to what degree the winners have a "mandate".

Every election empowers its winners to conduct the affairs of state during the term for which they were elected.  Someone has to govern, and the country's/state's/community's problems aren't going to wait until someone campaigns on each of those issues, wins, and is sworn in.

As long as elected officials are in office, they are empowered and obliged to do their jobs.  It's one thing for a lame duck to try to do last-minute things he/she wouldn't have done otherwise, like Clinton's pardons or Bush's last minute regulations, but day to day business should continue.

Unlike Republicans, I don't believe the government should shut down every once in a while.

Nice pick, Gov. (4.00 / 2)
Little known is that Her Honor spent several years of her youth in my fair village, I was actually one of her younger brother's gradeschool chums.

Our public school wasn't good enough for the Bassmaster.  

Republicans believe government is bad - then they get into office and prove it.
